The massive flash floods originating in Tibet swept through central Nepal earlier on Wednesday, devastating several towns and villages. The extensive water flow washed away critical bridges and crippled a dozen hydropower projects, as it gushed downstream, affecting multiple districts.

According to the latest update from Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), rescue authorities have recovered 359 bodies, while 910 people remain missing or out of contact.

The casualties have been reported from eight districts of Nepal, with Chitwan recording the highest number of recovered bodies at 132, followed by Nawalparasi East with 82, Gorkha with 30, Dhading with 33, Nuwakot with 28, Tanahun with 22, Rasuwa with 17 and Nawalparasi West with 15.
